A Brazos County man is accused of raping his ex-girlfriend while her new boyfriend drove to the police station to report a break-in at the new couple's College Station home, Brazos County prosecutors said.

The victim's boyfriend said he heard a noise downstairs at his home about 10:45 p.m. Friday, and what sounded like someone walking up the steps inside the residence, according to a probable cause statement from the College Station Police Department.

The homeowner grabbed his gun from his bedside and removed it from the holster. The sound "must have carried because he immediately heard footsteps and the person he believed to be the defendant then fled the home," according to the statement.

The boyfriend checked the home and found no one else inside. The front and back doors were unlocked and a window was open. He found footprints beneath the window outside.

The new boyfriend decided to drive around in his vehicle in order to "clear his mind" after the incident, and then to report the break-in to police.

When he arrived at College Station PD about 4:15 a.m. Saturday, the homeowner received a text message from his girlfriend's cell phone that included a photo of a nude male and female.

"I just had sex with Justin," the text read. "You shouldn't have left. I'm sorry it was in your bed."

Police rushed to the home on Autumn Chase Loop to interview the victim, who said that she awoke to being sexually assaulted by Holloway against her will, according to the statement. She ordered him to leave.

Police later arrested Holloway at his residence.

The new boyfriend told police that Holloway had called and texted the victim about 30 minutes before the break-in. The suspect arrived at the home a short time later and demanded that she come outside. When she refused, "It was believed that the defendant then left."

The woman told investigators that she broke up with Holloway about a week before the break-in and assault.
